Cheolchoirm Gaeilge/Gàidhlig - A night of song in Irish, English & Gáidhlig
0,00 €
Join us for the Gaeilge/Gàidhlig concert that will kick off the nighttime events of this year’s festival. People in this area around Central Donegal have a long tradition of travelling to, and returning from, Scotland because of seasonal labour. Geneviève Galarneau and Róise Ní Mhurchú will celebrate this link through performing songs from both countries (and both languages) on the night. Come along and experience the music whatever your level of Irish.
Venue: Balor Arts Centre, 8pm. This event will be seated cabaret style at tables.
